Types of Pavers for Outdoor Spaces
Create Outdoor Spaces That Last a Lifetime
When it comes to designing beautiful and durable outdoor spaces, the right paver makes all the difference. From patios and walkways to driveways and pool decks, pavers bring both function and timeless style to your home.
At Nostalgic Paver Systems, we specialize in helping homeowners design and install spaces that fit their lifestyle — and last for decades. Here’s a look at some of the most popular types of pavers and how to choose the best one for your next project.
1. Concrete Pavers | Durable • Versatile • Cost-Effective
Concrete pavers are one of the most popular choices for outdoor hardscapes. They’re available in a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns — from sleek modern finishes to rustic, tumbled styles. Concrete pavers can mimic the look of natural stone or brick while offering consistent sizing for easier installation.
✅ Best for: Driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks
✅ Pro Tip: Choose interlocking concrete pavers for added strength and a clean, professional finish.
2. Clay Brick Pavers | Classic • Charming • Long-Lasting
Brick pavers bring timeless appeal to any space. Their warm tones and traditional look make them ideal for heritage-style homes or those seeking a cozy, nostalgic feel. Made from natural clay and kiln-fired for durability, brick pavers can last for generations with minimal maintenance.
✅ Best for: Walkways, courtyards, garden paths
✅ Pro Tip: Pair brick pavers with greenery or natural stone edging to enhance contrast and curb appeal.
3. Natural Stone Pavers | Elegant • Organic • One-of-a-Kind
For those who want a truly unique outdoor space, natural stone is unmatched. Options like travertine, slate, granite, limestone, and flagstone offer rich color variations and natural textures that can’t be replicated. Stone pavers are incredibly durable and age beautifully over time, developing a natural patina that adds character.
✅ Best for: Luxury patios, outdoor kitchens, pool surrounds
✅ Pro Tip: Natural stone often requires sealing to protect against staining and weathering.
4. Permeable Pavers | Eco-Friendly • Functional • Beautiful
Sustainability meets style with permeable pavers — designed to let water flow through joints and back into the ground, reducing runoff and promoting groundwater recharge.
At Nostalgic Paver Systems, we install permeable systems that meet environmental standards while maintaining the same great look as traditional pavers.
✅ Best for: Driveways, patios, and eco-conscious designs
✅ Pro Tip: Permeable pavers help prevent puddling and ice buildup — ideal for Idaho’s variable weather.
5. Porcelain Pavers | Modern • Low Maintenance • High Performance
Porcelain pavers are a sleek, contemporary option for modern outdoor living. Resistant to stains, fading, and frost, these pavers are perfect for outdoor spaces that require both style and durability. They come in large-format sizes and can even mimic materials like wood, marble, or stone.
✅ Best for: Patios, pool decks, rooftop spaces
✅ Pro Tip: Pair porcelain with subtle lighting for a sophisticated, resort-style feel.
6. Cobblestone & Tumbled Pavers | Old-World • Textured • Durable
If you’re drawn to a rustic or European look, cobblestone and tumbled pavers bring charm and character. Their uneven edges and worn finishes add depth and warmth, creating outdoor spaces that feel timeless and inviting.
✅ Best for: Driveways, garden paths, and statement patios
✅ Pro Tip: Combine cobblestone borders with smooth concrete pavers for contrast and visual interest.
